Who is Ris?

Get to know me a little bit. Wanna know more? Get in touch!

Empowering people through yoga and movement, that’s my intention.
I want to inspire others to get into their body, to be curious and to connect to their own inner fire.
Tap into their own energy, their own freedom.

Yoga Education

I completed my 200hr Vinyasa YTT in 2019 at Nexus Institute for Yoga and Wellness in Costa Rica. I returned to the same institute in 2020 to complete my 500hr YTT. In addition I followed a Qigong for Yoga Teachers training (Brenda Lyons).

Energy & Freedom

Two important themes in my life. In my classes it is my intention to bring out what is within. Bring out your energy, your true energy or whatever you wanna name it. Challenge yourself, respect your edges. Feel your freedom radiate.

Laughter

I love a good laugh! Laughter is a very important part of my life. Have fun. Play! It helps to get out of the head into the body and learn new stuff in a natural way without expectations about the outcome.

Strike a pose

My classes ar not about striking a pose. It is about how movement feels in your body. Exploring your body. Being open and willing to discover your abilities, boundaries, thougts and emotions.

Pure

'Stay close to yourself', is what my mom always told me. If you follow your own path your confidence and that inner sparkle of freedom will set fire. Listen to your body, listen to your heart. Trust your intuition.

Never stop learning

I love to learn! Some other educational highlights: BA of Arts in International Relations (2006), MA of Arts in Management & Policy (2007). I'm currently enrolled in the following training: Ayurveda Goddess (Katie Rose).

Her classes are powerful. They provide both a strong and meditative workout.

She is passionate and involved. She teaches in a pleasant way and her instruction is very clear.

She is very accessible. Everyone immediately feels welcome.

If you are among the lucky to be offered an opportunity to take a yoga class with Mariska, I would highly encourage you to treat yourself.
